Are you searching for groundwork contractors that provide bulk excavations as part of a wider range of groundwork services? At Gibbons Groundworks, this is exactly what we offer. If you’re planning a large construction project, be it a property extension or an entire new build, you will almost certainly need to have your site excavated before any building work can begin. No matter the size of your site, you can rely on us to perform the required digging out in line with any specification.
Based in Luton, our company performs excavations across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. In addition to our hometown, our key service areas also include Hemel Hempstead, Hitchin, St Albans, Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City, to name a few.
Because we specialise in all aspects of groundworks, including foundation and drainage installations, we can manage the initial phase of your project from start to finish. This fast, efficient and cost-effective solution ensures your job stays on track for completion on time and within budget.
Put simply, bulk excavation involves moving large quantities of soil, rock or other materials from one area to another. Our groundwork contractors perform this task to set your construction site at the correct height and level before the physical build starts. Gibbons Groundworks achieves a millimetre-precise, meticulously calculated platform for the foundation installation – and other groundworks – to come.
While large-scale excavation is a key feature in the construction of housing developments and other large buildings, it’s also used in major infrastructure projects such as the installation of roads and railways.
The building of basements and other underground spaces also requires specialist excavation work. You can rest assured, our company excels at this service too. This is especially useful in urban areas, where space is at a premium and planning restrictions are prohibitive.
As time-served groundwork contractors, we have a proven track record in completing excavations to tight deadlines, and without any compromise in quality. Contact us to schedule an initial consultation, and get your project in Luton, Stevenage or the surrounding areas off to the perfect start.
Excavation work typically falls under one of the following categories:
With an obvious link between these two methods, our excavation service improves the sustainability of your project. This is because our on-site team reuses as much excavated soil and rock as possible when preparing your site for the physical build. This approach doesn’t just minimise waste, it also drives down project-related costs too.
As a team of groundwork contractors, we use decades of expertise to calculate the exact volume of earth required to finish this stage of your project. From the outset, we work out precisely how much excavated earth we can repurpose and where.
In turn, our company uses this information to arrange additional services, further improving efficiency. For example, if we need to order in more earth, we ensure it arrives on time. Conversely, if we need to transport waste material off site, we can schedule the necessary muck away service.
You can rest assured, we’re also adept at performing bulk excavations on all types of ground found in Luton, Stevenage and the surrounding region. In fact, we factor your site’s soil type into our calculations. This keeps the excavation process running smoothly, minimising technical difficulties and unforeseen issues. With a full understanding of your site’s soil, we can allocate the appropriate equipment and plant to your project from day one.
Ground type classifications include:
